Hi there Bluesky community! I need some help from everyone. The Nashville music community has been thrown into an unprecedented crisis, and we need help here. This needs to be shared far and wide, because there are a lot of wonderful talented people whose lives and careers are at stake.

I genuinely prefer biz cards for so many reasons, not the least of which being that you can take notes on them at the end of the day and (gasp!) actually remember who they are 😆 (Also, seeya at TGS? 😃)

Dolly Parton was a sterling example of a human being, and we'll never get another woman quite like her. She said just last week that she had so much more she wanted to achieve, but I hope she rests in peace knowing how many millions of people's lives she touched in a positive way.

PRODUCTION TIP: Sometimes you can automate the automation, using #ReaperDAW 's Automation Items feature to copy/paste/loop envelope shapes! .....but sometimes, manual volume/automation editing is also needed. Always worth experimenting with both! (tutorial in alt text) #gameaudio
Screenshot of an audio clip where I needed to manually adjust the volume envelope, vs. some automation lanes where I used Reaper's "automation items" feature to automatically apply the same curve over and over again every measureMenu showing how to get to Automation Items. Just create any kinda track envelope, select the time region of where you wanna save/copy/loop your envelope points

Then rightclick --> Automation Items --> Insert New and your automation will now behave like a looping audio clip! You can move around the entire automation clip, loop it, timestretch it, copy/paste it elsewhere in the track or even to other envelopers/tracks. Your edits to the automation item will propagate to every other instance of the loop, but if you copy/paste, each one will remain unique.

And you can also save them if you want!

Will Roget @wilbertroget.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
So cool! How much control do you have over dynamics? Are there any restrictions (other than the pitch being constricted to the scale)?

PRODUCTION TIP: In Melodyne 5, remember you can easily add shortcuts for almost anything! File > Prefs > Shortcuts, click what you want, then just press whatever key you wanna register. I use Pitch, Drift and Note Separation more than anything, so I just set those to 1 2 3. EZPZ! #gamemusic

(2/2) Havik’s most terrifying ability is to infinitely restore and multiply himself, so his theme grows from a single twisted synth arp into a terrifying distorted orchestra. Then the rhythmic yet atonal/unpitched strings represent chaos itself. Full vid: youtu.be/loJRboJIacI?...

If there was any goal to be had with this post, it was to 1) encourage ppl to try hardware but with managed expectations, and 2) introduce the term "time risk" when designing synth patches 😆. Sometimes HW *reduces* it when compared to softsynths! (....usually not, tho)

PRODUCTION TIP: [photo] If I were to guess how often, when I turn on a synth, that I actually USE the result! Results *greatly* skewed bc some synths get way more attempts than others. But just to give an idea, if you're interested in hardware! Synth names & explanations in ALT text #gamemusic
90% = Moog SubPhatty. Great for bass drones, sub bass

65% = Arturia Minibrute 2S. Great for bass sequences, sequences, some perc loops too

40% = Arturia Microfreak. Bit of a shocker, but when I thought about it, I realized there's patches I've designed here that are indispensable and live rent-free in my imagination; I think of them as part of my palette just the same as I'd think of a trombone or oboe. Specifically, a synth low strings patch and a few blip arps

30% = Korg Minilogue. Artificially low % because this is the FIRST synth I always turn on when I want anything. It might even be my favorite really - but because I use it so much, the % is lower and the "time risk" is high. Still, this places it evenly with software synths in time risk and versatility. Amazing for arps and pads; not so great for bass stuff though, IMO

15% = Korg MS-20mini. Uh oh!! Hopefully not too offensive a score, but basically it's the biggest gamble of all. Aggressive, unruly, and inherently a bit "low fi" sound, but it's got more vibe and life than anything... Just ridiculously hard to predict or control. But when it hits, it WILL be a signature sound. Great for bass, drones, FX, and ultra vibey arps

I mentioned this was my first *released* game - I'd written for tiny indies for over 6 years at that point, but back then it was way harder to finish a game (less middleware, storefronts, etc). As the article states, it was a side project in a totally new genre, but so much fun to work on! (3/3)
